#TECHNOLOGICAL_DETERMINISM
- Technologies are infallible!
#OPACITY
- Source codes and training databases are unknown, opaque, inauditable (SILVEIRA, 2019).

Who is "the enemy"?
The opressive, entrepreneurial, capitalist technological culture.
... the oppressed must not, in seeking to
regain their humanity (which is a way to
create it), become in turn oppressors of
the oppressors, but rather restorers of the
humanity of both. (FREIRE, 1987, p. 16)

Source unknown
... a shift from
participation
to
contribution
, with people acting in
solidarity
against hegemony and the
status quo
(Hopwood, 2022).
Collectividual (Stetsenko, 2016)
... people co-create the world in
solidarity
with others, building a desired future,
and in this dialectic, the individual himself is developing, learning and humanizing
(Stetsenko, 2016).
Transformative Activist Stance (TAS)
TAS-Based critical pedagogy
... practices must promote students and teachers transformative agencies,
collectividually and
engaging against the
status quo
(Stetsenko, 2016).
... students are agents of changes, premised by their
active
exploration
and
future-oriented goals (Vianna & Stetsenko, 2019)
... hacker communities are spaces that enable the
tools of activism and agency
,
with a view to
co-creating the world
and, recursively,
the individual
themselves
(Stetsenko, 2016).
TAS-based critical pedagogies must contribute to learners not only seeking
their desired futures, but also formulating and
developing their goals
and
meaningful pursuits (Stetsenko, 2016, p. 355).
#inquietude
... from a naive curiosity to a more rigorous curiosity ... (Freire, 2013, p. 32)
people as
creators
/constructors/authors
#action-fun
a pedagogy made by “
Learners-through-community
and
community-through-learners
” (Stetsenko, 2016, p. 353)
#collective
activists challenging the
status quo
(Vianna & Stetsenko, 2019).
#society-community
solidarity
and mutuality (Stetsenko, 2016, p. 361)
#sharing
overcoming the
false humanism-technology
dichotomy
(Freire, 1967, p. 97; Lund et al., 2019)
#humanistic-technological
... the transformative-agentive pedagogical action starts from individual
inquietudes
and interests that mature critically in the
community
context, giving rise to a
co-creative
and dialectical process with the community and its surroundings,
demonstrating a way of agentively co-create the analogue-digital sought-after future.
Open
sharing
and the perception of
technologies
as common goods, enable the
creation of new open technologies and social proposals that the community proposes
to do, which in hacker education is a way of living
fraternity
and
mutuality
, essential
element in a TAS-based critical pedagogy. At the same time, the community (Hackers
and schools) act as
transforming agents
through the constructions they make, the
artifacts they create, thus exercising their
activism
through
technologies
. These
artifacts strengthen the sense of community of those who are part active of the
transformative process. In the dialectic
individual-community-society
, all of them are
transformed. (Aguado & Alvarez, 2024, p.15)
. . . “why is this so? Is there no other way?,” in principle it
comes from a
curiosity
but as the years go by, that
curiosity, you read, information that you see,
you become
more critical
. For example, I have used Linux for years
at home [. . .] i have control over the technology . . .
(Hacker from Hackerspace Valencia)
The freedom to play and explore, to look at technology and
problems outside of a box of how things where intended.
To learn to find ways to destroy constraints within the system
you are confronted with (Hacker from Netherlands)

Anything - from the ethic to the hands-on approach...
(Hacker from Canada)
Which aspects of HE that must be part of schools ?
I think we are doing a type of approach, of mediation at school,
[. . .] it is not even top-down from UFSC to the teachers of CA,
nor from the CA teachers to the students. Even when we were
developing the tasks, we had high school students participating
in the process in the same table with Phd professors. I think
that this exercise, this experience of an education project that
is not in the top-down logic, it potentiates dialogical processes
(Teacher-Researcher)
. . . it is all the time doing activism and from the free
software communities as well. [. . .] the comuna digital
has a workshop that they do about digital self-defense,
which is how to raise awareness about social networks,
privacy and control . . . (Hacker from Red Conocimiento
Libre – Ecuador)
... the schools would build those monitors [to detect
garbage burning] with Arduino and a special shield
made for this, so, they could take them to their homes
or in their public places and collect information about
the level of contamination in the area [. . .] in Córdoba
where there are issues with Glyphosate, the University
took that project and modified it to collect samples of
Glyphosate in water (Hacker from R’lyeh hacklab)
The first thing I heard of at Blackboxe was related
to cameras in Parisian metro: supposed to make
use of a not publicly disclaimed facial recognition
technology ... creative reaction of those hackers:
design and use of anti-facial recognition make up.
(Hacker - DataPaulette etextile hackespace – Paris)

How?
Cultivating a sociodigital infrastructure
(website; fediverse; face-to-face meetings; etc.)
Bringing together educators, managers, hackers,
activists, etc.
How?
. Some sections will focus on reflecting on and analysing
the experience itself.
. These sections will be recorded and analysed collaboratively.
. Lab's collaborators as agents in the construction of strategies
and experiences of emancipatory sociodigital educations;
